Southern Lawmen (c. 1930's)

[Rudie]

Confiscated moonshine still Cleburn County Arkansas 1930.

1930 and none of them is wearing a waistcoat. Was this standard in the south at that time?

Rudie, the heat and humidity in the Southern USA is brutal. Waistcoats [vests] are unbelievably uncomfortable during the warmer months, so they were rarely seen.
